Dear Mr. Brown,

As a student of Greenwood High School as well as a teenager,

I am writing this letter to express my thoughts about the education of Comprehensive sex.

The debate over teenage pregnancy and STDs has spurred some research into

the more effectiveness of different approaches to sex education. Since teenagers

nowadays are open about sex, so in my opinion it is very necessary to infuse sex education

completely and correctly without hiding facts.

About one third of  schools in the United States are not teaching anything about birth control

and require abstinence or contraceptive failure rates to be taught as the only option for

unmarried people, and information about contraception is not provided, which is abstinence-only

sex education. I disagree with this education system, because we need to know more about

protecting ourselves from Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs) and birth control. And also,

to have safe sex is the only way to prevent both of them, teenagers need to know about the

risks of having sex and different choices of contraceptives they can use and how to use them.

And more importantly, they should know about the different types of sexually transmitted

diseases and treatments, such as what ways they will get in our body from and the symptoms

of STDs, what they should do if they unfortunately got an STD. And we should know how

serious consequences we might have just by being infected from STDs.

STDs could even cause death.

Also birth control is another thing that teenagers must be concerned about.

Many young girls have gotten pregnant between the age of 13 to 18,

and almost all of them got pregnant unplanned and  did not think about the

 responsibility to be a mother and how life would change after the birth of the child,

such as less time to spend on studies so that they can’t finish high school.

Some teenage girls even think they can have an abortion every time they get

pregnant and everything would be all right, which is extremely disrespectful to

 human life or to an innocent child.

We have to show how important it is to use protection to prevent pregnancy!

I suggest that teenagers should begin to have comprehensive sex education

between the ages of 12 to 13, or about 7th to 8th grade, during these ages

teens are growing up rapidly and they will notice the changes of their bodies,

 and they are starting to date. It is also necessary to teach them dating techniques

 and to refuse sex until it is appropriate. I believe that boys and girls should be taught

in the same class, though some of them might feel embarrassed.

However, eventually they will come in contact with sex and they all need to know how

the reproductive system works in the opposite sex, so why not just face it earlier?

Sincerely,

Kit Cheng
